Motorcycle & Scooter rentals in Alajuela

I rented my scooter from Mango Scooter and everything worked perfectly! The booking process was simple, and the service was very friendly and reliable. What I especially liked was that they even offer a pick-up and drop-off service, which makes everything much more convenient. The scooter was in excellent condition and riding it was a lot of fun. They also offer many other services, which I think is really great. You can tell they put a lot of value on good customer service. I can definitely recommend Mango Scooter and would rent from them again anytime!

Extremely friendly and accommodating. We were picked up directly from our hotel and also brought back afterwards. The scooter was up to date and in perfect condition. The entire process was completely straightforward and hassle-free. We were personally looked after by the managing director. Many thanks — anytime again.

If you need a scooter, don’t bother checking anywhere else - this is the place to go! The price, service, quality, communication, and overall process were all incredibly smooth, which is exactly what you want while on holiday. Special kudos to Marlon, who went above and beyond. Not only did he rent me an excellent scooter but he also took the time to give me a few refresher lessons to help rebuild my confidence. He even picked me up from my hotel and dropped me off (despite it not being included), shared an interactive google map with all the best hidden local spots, checked in to make sure I was doing fine and was genuinely kind throughout the whole experience. I truly wish him and his business continued success- this company is outstanding. Thank you once again! If I return, I’ll definitely use your services again.

Humm WOW!!! Where do I even begin? By far the best way to get around the Manuel Antonio area! Those off road scooters are just awesome...I went everywhere with it : on the beach, on secret trails and up the mountains for the best views and adventures! But that's not even the best part... Marlon!!! This guy is THE man. Always on the phone, ready to help, recommendations, secret spots, booking tours, getting you out of trouble, you name it. When you book the scooter for a couple days, he will first give you a scooter tour showing you all the spots, where to park and how to get to the more hidden areas. Then he gives you a PDF documents with ALL the best recommendations for restaurants, activities and places to go explore on the scooter. And like this isn't enough, you even get it on an interactive map on google! 110% worth every penny! Customer service at it's best. I was just looking for a easy way to get around, but I found the best adventures, I'm seeing so much more of this area then what I would get from searching the internet and tourist agencies! Best of all, I made a friend for life! Thanks Marlon! I will be back with friends ASAP! PS. This doesn't even give justice to how I'm feeling...I am so grateful. The universe gives back! Thank you.

Owner and tour guide, Marlon at Mango Scoot gets 5 stars from me! He was helpful, accommodating, and all around awesome. We had a lot of rain during our scooter tour of Manuel Antonio and surrounding areas, but he adapted and made sure we had a lot of fun. I highly recommend you book scootering with Marlon. 👍🏼!!

The best scooter rental in the area, hands down! Starting with the owner. Very knowledgeable and a motorcycle enthusiast 🏍. It was our first time riding a scooter, but he took the time to explain the basics to ensure our safety and enjoyment. The equipment (the scooters) are in very good condition, with USB chargers, all in perfect working order. Marlon shared tons of suggestions for places to visit and explore. It was definitely the highlight of our visit. Super fun...

Overall, I was pretty happy with this place though there are some caveats that you should know about. Make sure to bring your driver's license. You do not need a motorcycle license even for moto, but you do need a regular driver's license for all of the options. We rented the motorcycles for 24 hours to go to two places specifically, Castillo and Nuevo Arenal. Both of these places are around the lake, just in different spots, both were very beautiful in their own way. The motos were in good condition, both aesthetically and mechanically. For 24 hours it costs $70 for a 150cc, manual moto. For most people, it would probably make sense to rent the scooter instead because you're also getting 150cc but for $50. So here are some caveats. The distance / locations that you're allowed to go are quite limited for example to the West you are not allowed to go past Nuevo Arenal and to the east you're not even allowed to go past the town limits. The purpose of these motorbikes is just to see the town itself and go to different main tourist attractions in the area. The second caveat is that if you damage any parts of the motorbike, even slightly, you will be expected to buy new parts. I dropped the motorbike one time and it ended up costing me an extra $210 to replace various parts. The owners take a very good look at the motorbike upon return, so when they ask you to take video beforehand, I would take it seriously. The contract is also pretty clear that any damage you go to the motorbike you will be responsible for so if you total the scooter you will be out $3,000 at the total the motorcycle you'll be out $4,500. Any hospital related injuries sustained from riding they will cover. Overall, I think that the couple are honest and the rentals are well maintained. However I would only rent from them if I were confident that I would not damage any of their rentals.

Such a cool experience. Marlon was super helpful and being able to contact him through WhatsApp was great. The roads between Manuel Antonio and Quepos were a bit tricky if you’ve never drove a scooter/motorcycle before but besides that section the roads weren’t a problem. Definitely recommend the off-road scooter because there were some side streets that were not fully paved. Fitting two bigger dudes on one was a bit tricky, might recommend getting separate scooters.

We rented the motorbike for 2 days and everything went smoothly. The lady who rented it to us was very friendly. We were considering going here because of the bad reviews, but we gave them a chance and I believe that they're trying to make the business better. Taking a video when you receive a vehicle is recommended for any rental. It's gonna save you lots of time and trouble when you return it.

Feb. 25, 2025

Can’t really agree with the other reviews, they got new motorbikes and also slightly better prices than the other motorbike rentals. The woman that rented to us was friendly, only the helmets could use some upgrade/wash, but nothing you wouldn’t experinece somewhere else. Thanks!

Feb. 22, 2025

Awesome scooter and great service. This was the best way to get around in Quepos (every two minute cab ride is like 10 bucks!!!). You can see everything Quepos has to offer when you want to see it. Scooters are the best way to get around in town, traveling to the beaches and the nearby forests. Even took a few longer trips to nearby attractions. These scooters are nice and affordable. Service back and forth to hotel on pick up and drop off. Made our trip so much fun.

Renting a scooter from Mango Scoot was a great way to get around Manuel Antonio. The scooters were in excellent condition especially considering the condition of the roads. Having a scooter made transportation much more convenient compared to relying on taxis which overcharge like crazy. Also, the private tour is highly recommended. Marlon took us to areas of Manuel Antonio we wouldn’t have discovered on our own.

Rented a scooter from mango scoot for an entire week and I have to say it was the best decision that I made on my entire trip. It was a fabulous way to get around and explore the city and Marlon was so welcoming and helpful for making our experience safe and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

Unreal time with Mango Scoot Was such a help and went above and beyond. Scooter was perfect to get around everywhere and definitely made a difference. Mango also helped us so much with transportation around Costa Rica and the driver was the nicest person:). Good price from Manuel Antonio to Monte Verde. I would highly recommend this as it’s very hard to get around if you’re travelling with surfboards. Thank you so much 🙏🏽

Marlon was awesome!! It was very easy to book and operate the scooter. Additionally, he provided an amazing map with all the details you would need to explore and adventure on the scooter, as well as great food and drink recommendations. I would absolutely book with him- he’s the guy I will go to next time I visit!

Dec. 6, 2024

The experience of sharing and getting to know the beauty of Quepos with Marlon on his scooter was incredible. Not only that, he also knows Costa Rica and will take you to explore places that no one will forget about how beautiful this country is... greetings Mango.

Sept. 13, 2024

Highly recommended, Marlon provides excellent service and is always attentive to the maintenance that must be provided to his scooters, they are serious and responsible.

We had no booking, just walked in and asked if there was availability. Paco sorted us out with no hassles, no bartering. He was a really good guide as well. After being in la fortuna a couple days, we'd seen all the sights and just wanted some fast paced ATV driving, and he delivered it. Double checking every now and then to ensure we were happy. Awesome experience, 12/10 rating from the entire group

The place was a bit hard to find at first (it’s the big red gate), but the experience was amazing. The scooter was perfect for riding around Manuel Antonio. Plenty of power to get up the hills and strong brakes for going back down. Would love to try again sometime!

We rented a scooter from MangoScoot for an entire week & Marlon was awesome!! He was very helpful, we were always able to reach him at any point in the day & he was usually the one to reach out to us with information. He showed us a beach where we could ride the scooter onto & (kind of on accident) gave us a really awesome first day in Costa Rica! Highly recommend using this company for scooter rentals in Manuel Antonio!! Very easy to work with.

We had a really good experience with Moto Rental. We rented 4 atvs and 1 side by side. The guides were great and the equipment great also. Two of us had never ridden at all and were very much at home on the entire ride after the guides told them what they needed to know. Just be safe, treat the motorbikes with respect and listen and follow the guides lead and you will have a great time taking in a lot of great scenery during the ride.

Marlén is super friendly. The scooter is 10 points, no problem. We made a deposit and paid in cash. The deposit was returned to us since everything was ok. The new bike is super good!

April 7, 2024

Great experience. The owner is responsive and helpful. The motorbike was powerful enough for two. We explored Manuel Antonio, Quepos and Dominical.

March 6, 2024

Really nice trip through the mountains. Great views guaranteed! We also saw a few animals and we were really lucky with the weather. The guide was also very nice and pleasant. Would be cool if he could speak English. We were 4 people in the whole tour so two vehicles following the guide. Recommendation: take the Side by Side Buggy. The Seats are really comfortable and also to take pictures during the drive it's the better choice. In general more fun to drive with especially if your are two persons. Another advantage - no helmet needed = better view and not so hot.

Last summer, I had the pleasure of enjoying a tour of Costa Rica. The motorcycle I was given was a bit older, but it was well-maintained and in perfect working order. This made me feel very safe, so I wanted to highlight this positive aspect. I'd also like to mention the staff's expertise. With their experience, they were able to accurately assess which places were worth visiting and, most importantly, which roads required more or less skill. This meant there was something for every motorcyclist. For anyone wanting to explore Costa Rica on two wheels and looking for a reliable partner, I can wholeheartedly recommend this rental shop.

Feb. 15, 2024

Wow, I've never ridden a scooter before and Marlon made it so easy. He is still passionate about motorcycles, nature, and loves his country. My visit to Manuel Antonio was great thanks to him.

Dec. 15, 2023

Marlon took us to some amazing places in Manuel Antonio, and we also met Mango. He was recommended as a local guide and driving his scooters was great.

Dec. 15, 2023

What an amazing experience and guide! When I ordered a scooter, I thought I was only getting a set of wheels, but what I got was a friend for life! Marlon not only gave me a tour of Manuel Antonio, but also helped me out throughout my entire trip, giving me local restaurants and secret spots to visit. The scooters were powerful and serviced and if there ever was an issue(there weren’t any) I know he would have come and help me no matter what. What a beautiful soul Marlon is and I can’t wait to visit again to meet with him and Mango 🥭

I have had the opportunity to share with Marlon on two occasions. Incredible experience and person, highly recommended for adventure enthusiasts looking to do something different in Manuel Antonio. Marlon starts by giving the basic guidelines on how to ride the scooter and the safety rules, he makes you practice before actually going out on the road. We went to visit a lot of super nice places that I didn't know about in the area, we climbed challenging hills, we passed near the entrance of the national park on some trails and he recommended an excellent place for lunch. Super grateful, I will definitely be back soon.

Sept. 12, 2023

He was extremely professional and helped me learn and get comfortable with the scooter before I set off. Thanks for all the help! I'd recommend this rental to everyone.

Aug. 30, 2023

That is the BEST Scooter Service you can find!!!! Always there to help, top equipment, a scooter rental company with heart and soul for his job and his customers. A man we met who became a friend. It was an honour to have met you and Mango and we wish you only the best.

Aug. 27, 2023

Scooter was new and in Great Shape!! Owner was extremely friendly and offered awesome points of interest on a pdf he created Highly Recommended and don’t wait till your last day Get it right away !!!

It was worth it just to be able to ride into Quepos from my hotel in Manuel Antonio. It’s a 3 km (1.8 miles) walk or 40 minutes according to Google. Distance will vary according to your hotel. I appreciated that the paperwork could be completed online with only 1 contract signed in person upon arrival. My deposit was refunded immediately within an hour of returning the scooter. My only complaint is that the scooter is challenging to park. It’s not a kickstand; it’s a center stand that can only deployed from the left side. By day 3 I was starting to get the hang of it. Other than that, the scooter is great. The throttle was responsive, leaning into turns felt safe, and the brakes worked well (watch out for the one random speed bump on the 618).

Aug. 6, 2023

We rented 2 scooters and were satisfied. Taking a scooter was the best decision. You will be able to visit the most inaccessible locations. We will definitely come back for new experiences.

I don’t even know where to start… I could not have asked for a better experience with MangoScoot and Marlon! From the start, he was so willing to help with anything and everything we needed on our trip. Marlon is super outgoing, easy to communicate with, and fun! He coached my best friend and I for hours to prepare us to ride the scooter from very little experience. He went out of his way to set up exercises to build our confidence until we were ready. The scooter itself was so fun to ride around and we had a blast! Apart from the actual scooter experience, Marlon was always there for my friend and I throughout our trip. Only being teenagers, he ALWAYS made sure we were safe and gave us the best recommendations for where and where not to go as he is super knowledgeable about the area. He also accompanied us when we wanted to explore new places for our safety. We became such close friends in a very short amount of time and I could not be more grateful. He made sure we had the best trip possible and put in so much effort for us to enjoy our time. From taking us to the farmers market, to having breakfast delivered to our airbnb, to even taking us on a road trip to the mountains where he grew up, we could not be more appreciative for everything he’s done. I’ve gained an amazing friend and now I can’t wait to come back!! I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to have the time of their life!
